So today was officially the 1st day back running. The schedule I'm trying calls for lifting and stretching on Monday and I added a little dog walking just for grins so today the first day I ran...well tried to run. You see I've been working out, drinking milk (actually I don't like milk) and getting strong (7 year old boy strong) but I'm not in running shape. I knew it would take a while to get my legs back so I started slow. I did run/walk intervals for about 2 miles...but it was pain free. Today was a good day...
Keep on keepin' on.

Hey you gotta get started somewhere, right? GREAT JOB!
Hey Ashley! Good for you getting back out there. Just remember that you're not the only one. I never should have taken such a long and relaxing winter break from running b/c it really is tough to get back to the level you were at before. To use your words, "Lesson learned."
If you're thinking about doing the half at Hospital Hill, I say go for it. I think it's a tougher (hillier) course than the KC Half, but I enjoyed it. I hope that enough people complained about the early tear-down last year that they'll be respectful and leave the official finish line open til the time they promise.
Good for you! I know how you feel, but you have to start somewhere! it is hard to make the return, but we'll get there! Welcome back!
